The negative capacitance is a peculiar phenomenon frequently observed in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the origin and mechanism of the negative capacitance in PSCs remains ambiguous. Here, planar PSCs with different electron transport layer (En) strategies (SnO2, TiO2, or without ETL) were characterized by EIS in a wide range of frequencies under various conditions. The negative capacitance solely occurred in the moderate frequency region as the perovskite layer directly contacted with the conductive SnO2: F (FTO) substrate under illumination and open-circuit conditions. Based on semiconductor band theory, the origin of negative capacitance to the formation of an inversion layer in the perovskite/FTO interface induced by the interfacial energy band over-bent under illumination and opencircuit conditions. Our study provides important insight into the physical mechanism behind the negative capacitance of PSCs.
